This here is an open thread.

Say whatever you'd like. Ask me something, tell me what you've been up to, whatever. See: open thread.

If you're really nice and I get sick enough of grading, I might even write something for you.

Howdy!

HI!

Here, have a shark wearing a tuxedo.

[senmut]

I see your shark with an Alien on a ship.

[patchwork_owl]

That icon makes me crack up every time! I hope he's enjoying his cruise to Fiji....

Have an avian superhero!

I'm making a quiche!

[patchwork_owl]

OOOOOOO what kind of quiche?

(I had a cupcake for dinner. At some point I should probably see about real food. But it was a really good cupcake!)

[ivorygates]

Cupcakes are food. Really.

[patchwork_owl]

Does that mean I should eat another one?

[meloukhia]

It was spinach, purple potato, and red onion! With paprika and Swiss, because, hey. I then proceeded to eat about 5/12 of it in one sitting, because that is how I roll.

What kind of cupcake?

[patchwork_owl]

Oh goodness that sounds amazing!

I used to get purple potatoes in my CSA basket back when I lived in Davis. They were yummy -- and good for freaking out the uninitiated.

It actually wound up being two cupcakes. One, I can't for the life of me remember what it was supposed to be but it was pink and tasty; the other was a cranberry cupcake that was the perfect balance of sweet and salty. YUM. Our locally-owned cupcake place does gluten-free cupcakes that are absolutely da bomb. I will probably stop on my way home from the lab and get some more, because I am hooked...

Sadly, I am also grading... never ends.

[patchwork_owl]

I feel like Sisyphus with his damned rock.

I was caught up. Then we had finals and my upper level kids turned in their term papers. *cries*

Tl;dr: you have my complete sympathy!

[killing_rose]

I'll see you papers and raise you borrowers. Hypothetically, how would you not know you own a house?

[patchwork_owl]

Quantum mirrors? Maybe in whatever universe they're really from, they don't?

Yeah, I got nothin'.

[killing_rose]

That would make more sense than any explanation we've hypothetically received.

Here, have a kitty.

[ivorygates]

Um... you lost it. You forgot. You thought the tornado left it in Oz. You refuse to claim anything over a Hellmouth. It was bought by your evil twin who didn't tell you. PHASE REALITY SHIFT! Magnets. Mercury was retrograde for two and a half years. Sunspots.

How's Herself?

Freaking grading, it is made of evil.

I -- well. *flops hand at latest post* I don't even know what to do with the weather, Owl.

Have a turtle!

[patchwork_owl]

*hugs you tight*. Everything is scary right now...

Herself is currently chubby and lazy and convinced my sole role in life is to be her walking treat dispenser. However! She has been cleared by the vet to go back to work, and I'm about to be done with school, so this is soon to change... I'm just thrilled to see her happy and feeling good again.

Turtles are awesome!

[buymeaclue]

That was going to be my question, too! Hope it's not too much of a shock to her system to work for a living again...!

[ivorygates]

Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahaha I HAVE NOW ADDED EIGHT MORE PURPLE FLOWER ICONS! I AM UNSTOPPABLE!!!

i mean, i would be if i could find them....

[patchwork_owl]

I'm sure they would be easier to find if you did not have eight zillion icons already. Now you have eight zillion and eight...

::ducking and running::

[ivorygates]

I mock your mockery.

[ivorygates]

Now you have to, yanno, MAKE ANOTHER POST.

{I have thirteen purple flower icons...}

[patchwork_owl]

Hm. I wonder if I can make you acquire even more.

Um, I mean... *whistles innocently*
